I’m very happy, this is very exciting

[Mamzelle]

Hah hah! Take THAT, Lindsey. That's gotta hurt. Looks like the "bigots" didn't "shut up."

Frednecks Rule!........

FREDmentum is building:)

[Artemis Webb]

This is great...

BUT...

Who is “public policy polling”?

[mhx]

An Obama vs. Thompson election would at least be interesting.

And of course Fred would crush him :-)

I live in South Carolina.

Friday night I was at a cocktail party and the who party was buzzing about Fred Thompson - and I would say that 40% of us have been hard core Rudy fans.

We all agreed - if Fred and get aggressive - harness a simple message - he will be HELL to beat.

It was a great party - everyone was talking and there were supporters for all the candidates - except McCain - only one idiot old woman was for him (no offense ladies)

We got her drunk and left her in the corner.

Great GOP primary - no doubt.

[.. On the GOP side, Fred Thompson leads his rivals with 27%, followed by Mitt Romney at 16%, Sen. John McCain at 15%, Rudy Giuliani at 14% and Newt Gingrich at 11% ..]

That was quick.. Fred kicked the others to the curb in one day.. Gingrich as a running mate just might be a blockbuster..

Gingrich in a debate with whoever the democrats chose as VeeP would be like sending the democrat through a chipper.. And with Newts input to Freds campaign would be powerful..

Could galvanize the republican party.. should happen soon though.. They are burning daylight..

Here in Washington State, at Saturday’s King County GOP Convention, Fred Thompson got 89 votes in the straw poll taken. Mitt Romney came in 2nd place with 39 votes, followed by the rest of the pack.

[Brilliant]

John Edwards polls 15% in his own state. I guess it’s because he’s sued just about everyone in the state at one time or another.

[The Blitherer]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that we won’t be seeing this poll on Hugh Hewitt’s website.

[upchuck]

Wow!

On the GOP side, Fred Thompson leads his rivals with 27%

But, actually, we've been predicting this for weeks. I'm thrilled at this.

Go FRed!

[domenad]

Crazy. Thompson hasn’t even declared yet, and he’s winning SC? If the guy had been in a debate, they might have impeached Bush and installed him right on the spot.

[upchuck]

All together now...

Yes!

Add me to the list. / Remove me from the list.

My gawd, Rudy's in FOURTH place. He can't even top McNutz.

And Fred is nearly double the pack without even entering the race.

[Beagle8U]

From the same linked website...

“According to a new Public Policy Polling survey of likely Iowa caucus-goers, John Edwards and Mitt Romney hold double digit leads in the first major contest of the 2008 presidential race.( snip)

On the Republican side, Romney is at the front with 31% support, while Fred Thompson comes in second with 15%, followed by Newt Gingrich with 10%, John McCain with 9% and Rudy Giuliani with 8%.”

Second place in Iowa for Fred now but that will change once the cornhuskers get up to speed.

Rudy is being CRUSHED which is always a good thing.

There are increasing signs there will be an “all Tennessee” election, with Fred Thompson versus Albert Gore. Hillary Clinton has too many people against her; Barack Hussein Obama is too inexperienced, too Muslim and not that great at debating; John Edwards is, well, John Edwards (I won’t quote Ann Coulter). On the GOP side, Rudy Giuliani is not a republican; John McCain is crazy; Mitt Romney is too slick and the rest are also-rans.

[Atlas Sneezed]

[Between the Lines]

His strategy of not declaring seems to be working well.

[George W. Bush]

Gee, what happened to Rudi's strong polling there and all those firefighters (well, maybe a dozen) who were supporting him tooth and nail?

This is the nail in McStain's coffin. If he can't pick up the slack, he should drop out right now.
